Getting Started with Search Results in Grid View

After you have run a Search, the search results appear to the right of the Archives Pane. GlobalSearch defaults to the Grid View for these results, but if Thumbnail View is showing instead, you can switch to Grid View from the User Settings. The results of an Archive Search are presented in an interface with four different areas:

  • Search Results Document List – A grid (table) with indexing data presented in columns and records presented in rows. As the List can have as many columns and rows as you need, it is surrounded by tools for navigating through the results, or changing them as needed.

  • Documents Menu Bar – Found above the List, use the menu items to perform a variety of document actions, such as move, copy, export, or add to a Workflow process.

  • Status Bar – Below the List is the Status Bar. Use this to navigation through your results. You can jump to a Search Results page, click through pages, and set how many records per page are displayed.

  • Grid Menu – Configure – From here you can configure how the columns of Index Field values display using the Grid Menu, found to the right of the List.

  • Archive History – Also found to the right of the List, this shows the history of actions taken on all the records in an Archive.

  • Document Document History – This shows the history actions taken on a single selected document, and is found next to the Archive History.

In the Grid View, the top row contains the header information to identify the Index Field assigned to a column and the Header Menu.

From the second row on down, one record is displayed per row:

  • The first cell is the selection checkbox.
  • The next cell contains the Thumbnail Preview icon. This is contextual; which thumbnail is displayed depends upon the type of document for that row. Place your mouse pointer over the icon to view a Thumbnail of the first page of the actual document.
  • Remaining cells contains the indexing data (if any exists) for each available Index Field. Which Fields appears depends upon the Archive.
